Benchmark Litigation 2012 identified Davis Polk as a “Highly Recommended” firm – the guide’s top honor – in both New York and California, and ranked the firm in the top tier nationally in three categories: General Commercial, Securities and White-Collar Crime. Overall, Davis Polk was recognized in six categories nationally, and 11 individual lawyers were named “National Litigation Stars” in their respective practices. According to Benchmark, “The firm’s reputation continues to soar on a jet stream of recognition: peers name-check the firm across the board, and the level of client accolades runs equally deep.”

In addition to being named a top-tier firm in both states, 14 individual New York-based and five California-based lawyers were recognized as “Local Litigation Stars.” Davis Polk also had one lawyer named a “Local Litigation Star” in Washington DC, with two additional DC-based lawyers identified as “Future Stars.”
